Chapter 7

Zero's POV
"Oh, so now you remember. So tell me, how does it feel to be in the presence of a hunting legend."
"I still don't believe you, if you really are Kira, prove it. Fight me"
She scoffed, "Bitch please, I could beat you with both arms tied behind my back"
"You sure about that?" I smirked
"Yep"
"Ok then, it is on" I took off my tie and used it to bind her wrists
"The winner is declared when the opponent is unable to continue" She stated
"Ok"
I stepped away from her and we took our positions, ready to fight. Irami was the first to act, she immediately leapt into a flying kick. I moved just as her foot zoomed past my head. Shit, if I hadn't moved, she would've won.

Irami's POV
Oh crap, he dodged my kick. This fight is going to take longer than I thought.
This time, Zero attacked. He went to tackle me around the waist, but I jumped in time, and using his back as a spring-board, I did a front flip and made a perfect landing behind him. When I turned around, I saw him splayed on the ground, spouting a chain of curse words under his breath.
I walked over and sat on his back.
"Looks like I win!"
Suddenly, he leapt up, leaving me on the ground this time. I was totally vulnerable.
He reached out his arms towards me, and I started crying.
"P-p-please don't hurt me. I'm just a f-foolish girl. I'm sorry"
The expression on his face went from apathetic to sympathetic. He leaned in really close, so his face was inches from mine, and whispered,
"I'm sorry"
That's when I head-butted him, leaving him on the ground, unconscious. I stood up, and wrestled my hands out of the tie that bound my wrists, and walked over to Zero. Wow, he sure is pathetic. I hardly got a work out.
I crouched next to him and started poking his cheek, which resulted in a pained groan from him. Yep, he is definitely unconscious. Or so I thought.
I saw his attack too late. His arm shot out and seized my arm, pulling me onto him, and rolled over so he was straddling me, and was gripping onto both my wrists. I couldn't move.
His lavender eyes turned red.

Zero's POV
I could feel my fangs start to poke my bottom lip as they elongated. A burning thirst raged through my body.
I stared at the girl below me, her hair fanned around her head, exposing her long, lovely neck. But what really struck me about her appearance was her expression. It wasn't frightened, scared or even sad, it was as if she was disappointed, but not with me, disappointed with herself.
I would've stopped there and walked away, but the animal inside was already revelling at the sight of the girl beneath it. There was something bizarre about having the famous hunting legend under me, completely at my mercy.
I leaned in towards her throat and sunk my fangs into her. Last time I bit her, I didn't take any notice about her taste, but now I could see that she tasted good, really good. I mean sure, Yuuki tasted sweet, but in a sugar-water kind of way. Irami tasted sweet too, but it was more refined, more rich and was by far, more addictive.
Then I noticed that she wasn't resisting me, totally submitting to the beast devouring her. This had shocked me enough to stop drinking and pull away.
"Why aren't you fighting back, like you did last time?"
"There's no point. You need this to stay alive, and I'm hardly going to deny you that. So whenever you need blood, I'm here!"

Irami's POV
After saying that, a sad, shocked expression appeared on his blood-stained face.
"Are you ok? Did I say something wrong?"
His reaction was totally unexpected, he started laughing, but not in a nice way.
"It's just that someone has already said that to me, a long time ago. They ended up leaving me. It's funny how a few words can cause so much pain and heart-ache"
"I'm guessing that person is Yuuki. I remember that one of the first things that I heard you say when I came here was that it had 'hardly been a month since Yuuki left', am I right?"
He let go of my arms and sat next to me.
"Do you want to tell me about it? You shouldn't have to burden this alone"
-Ok, so Zero pretty much explains everything, from when his parents were killed, until when Yuuki left, I'm just saving myself from a lot of typing and you from reading stuff that you already knew-
"Ok, so I've just told you my life story, now it's your turn." He finished
"I guess so, it's better that you find out sooner rather than later."
